Online dating 'could be more successful than meeting in a bar'

Online dating is a better way to meet likeminded individuals without the pressures of meeting them face to face, it has been claimed.

The Daily Mirror stated that the "odds" of finding a new partner are far higher than if people hope to find love in bars and clubs.

"You know everyone on the dating site is looking for someone," the publication noted, which can save time, as there is no chance of trying to get to know someone who is not interested in a relationship.

Another benefit of finding love online is the element of being able to learn more about a potential UK match without people feeling they have to meet them right away, it noted.

The news source commented: "You can reveal as much or as little about yourself as you want to - and there's no pressure."

Dating adviser Paula Rosdol recently described in an interview with the Daily Telegraph how using the internet as a resource to meet people is a "pro-active" way to look for love.
